What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Malkin's Bank. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Sink repair in Malkin's Bank, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malkin's Bank as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
